MCQ
In covalency
- AElectrons are transferred
- ✓Electrons are equally shared
- CThe electron of one atom are shared between two atoms
- DNone of the above
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Electrons are equally shared
b
The covalency of an atom is the number of electron it shares with the other atoms when forming chemical bonds. Usually but not always, it is the number of covalent bonds it forms with the other bonds.
The covalency of an atom is the number of electron it shares with the other atoms when forming chemical bonds. Usually but not always, it is the number of covalent bonds it forms with the other bonds.
Example: In $CH _4$, carbon shares its four electrons with four electrons of four different $H$ - atoms to form $4$ covlent bonds. Hence covalency of carbon is $4.$
